Teen born without jaw releases first rap song

A 17-year-old Arizona teen left mute after he was born without a jaw or pathway for breathing has fulfilled his dream of becoming a rapper.

Phoenix resident Isaiah Acosta’s his first rap song “Oxygen to Fly” was posted online to YouTube last week as part of a documentary by the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH).

The song – penned by Isaiah and performed by local hip hop artist Trap House – explores the challenges Isaiah has faced as a result of his condition, which makes it difficult for him to breathe.

“My song writing started with my emotions, what I’ve been through, what I still go through,” Isaiah told The Huffington Post.

“I wanted people to hear me out for me.”

The documentary features an interview with his mother Tarah Acosta, who explains that “everything in (Isaiah’s) body is a mirror image, flipped backwards” as a result of a rare condition known as situs inversus.

“I was told he wasn’t going to walk, talk, pretty much be bed bound. I mean, every day we wake up, we’re lucky that he’s here,” she said.
